Weekly Reader & Troll Book Clubs

Troll and Scholastic studentbook clubs ruled in school!

I don't know about you, but I loved placing my book orders through Troll, Weekly Reader and Scholastic book clubs at school. Mom and Dad were teachers and never skimped when it came to books. I knew however many books I wanted, they wouldn't refuse me literature. I would order terrific books about Gremlins, Garfield, Heathcliff, Michael Jackson, Dynamite magazines and more.

I remember the excitement when the books were doled out in class. The smell, the feel, the excitement of a brand new book!

I LOVED those and remember the exact feeling you’re talking about when the teacher passed out the orders! I taught Kindergarten for two years and filled up every order form when we did book clubs. Now my kids have tons and tons of books. I also loved book sales in the library every year!

I loved those too! I just blogged last week about finding my old copy of The Trumpet of the Swan, which I probably got through the book club since that was pretty much the only way I got books back then. Getting our book orders in at school was like Christmas for me! :)

Hurray for book orders! Scholastic was my favorite, but I loved them all. When my teacher would open that big box and pass out the books, videos (ahh, the days before DVDs and Blu-ray), etc. it was so exciting!

Now I'm a nanny and the girls I take care of love book orders just as much as I did. It's good to see that love passed on to another generation.
